Blog post shows some Euro Typhoons making stop at Lajes Sunday on their way.

Spamtankers RAFAIR9102 (ZZ334) dragging RAFAIR9515 Flight (ZK339, 365, 375, 433) four eurofarce from Coningsby and RAFAIR9101 (ZZ332) dragging four, RAFAIR9511 Flight (ZK374, 425, 439, 431) from Lossie. (with thanks to a Coningsby based friend for the tails....I don't record such things generally). Lossie should have departed first but were delayed several hours.

Yesterday posted all the mil cargo traffic between A/C and Key West.. TETON 33,38 etc.
Seems C-17 EPIC-73 #00-0172 has run 2 round trips between the two bases for the last couple days.
EPIC73 Flight Tracking and History - FlightAware
Thought maybe the DEVIL's were headed that way this morning but am sure more to come.
With all that cargo seems they are moving to Key West for the Winter :)
Must be all ANG show as all the cargo movers including ROCCO 51,52 EPIC-73 are all ANG aircraft.

1620 - Hearing them talking about McGuire AFB on 233.525

Lead calling out closest diversion points as they go south - obviously McGuire and now calling out Dover with bearing and distance.
Funny as when the first pair were North bound yesterday they were chatting A/A "Sure are a lot of places up this way we can divert to".
Sure were worry warts about possible diverts.Maybe possible icing a big concern for the F-22's or just nervous flight leader.

One of the aircraft had to shut down number two engine. At least that is what they were talking about on the air air. So perhaps they expected an issue or it is a common problem (hope not).
